Want to win a Ticket to Bitcoin 2023 Conference in Miami next week? ($949 value)
Reply to this post with your best ideas for Nostr - client features or relay features, mini-apps, ways to attract more users, or anything that will move Nostr to the next level.
We will announce a winner on Sunday. You are on your own for travel and lodging.
#devstr https://devstr.org
#DEV for any dev working in the Bitcoin ecosystem in a volunteer capacity. Get them to add the tag to their Nostr profile. Would be nice to send random sats, change, and shitcoins (converted to sats) to them. Devzapper wallet address where all coins zaps go to devs.
Search (I know, indexing)
Show the note you are replying to as you are typing.
Drafts!!
30-second "undo" like Gmail has, since you never *really* proofread until after it's already posted.
Zap everyone in my following list.
Swipe note: custom (ie swipe right to zap, left to block)
Auto zap - scrolling will zap 1 sat (or custom) to every note you pass. (useful for #zapathon too) .
"Like-zap" - like button zaps 1 sat
Url shortener (automatic)
Zap-up-to - when you zap, it calculates and makes the final value of your choosing, every time. So you could choose "69", then if you zap a post that already has 60, you will automatically zap 9 ; or if a post already has 44, it will zap 25. Configurable to 21,42,69,420, etc.
Option to turn off auto-load images (tap/click to load).
Detect & suggest hashtags ( like it does for @) as you type.
Detect YouTube/Spotify podcasts and offer to link to fountain or other lightning-enabled platform instead.
Sort replies by "best", "most liked", "most zapped, etc
Convert links to safe & non-affiliate links.
Highlight users new in last week (background color or darken frame around note, etc).
Preload/cache some lightning sats to client to speed up zaps (currently takes 2-3 seconds on amethyst via Alby).
"GIVE A SHIT(COIN)": Donation to send in ALL SHITCOINS. For those who still have some amount of non-Bitcoin, an easy way to send it to Nostr devs or Bitcoin devs (receive addresses for all altcoins) #giveashit
Likely porn, commerce and memes are what will drive Nostr to the next level, like the Internet.
Gotta fix some of that @dave impersonation stuff or whatever the fuck @Will is up to (or was it @jack or @cassie that started it?). Can we really not have readable names that can't be copied?
A community controlled ad campaign funded by zaps contributions with nostr polling to determine what and where, etc.
An ad campaign for nostr? Advertising in other platforms?
Maybe. I'm not a marketing genius, but strikes me that Nostr should be very attractive to various segments, who maybe aren't into bitcoin, or have heard of nostr, or follow @jack, etc, but care about their future, with ability to help kick network effect up a few notches. How do we get to them?
I think the Nostr "protocol" could be a good replacement for centralized services like Meetup.
I'm also seeing a lot of good dev content that isn't on Nostr. Would be great if the busy devs had a tool that could post to both-- maybe just directly copy a Twitter post over to their Nostr account. Don't expect everyone to abandon their followers and decade-long relationship with Twitter immediately.
